Description

  The present invention relates to a vehicle display device mounted on a vehicle.

  The vehicle display device is mounted on a vehicle and displays vehicle information so as to be visible to the driver. Examples of vehicle information displayed by the vehicle display device include a vehicle speed, an engine speed, a remaining fuel amount, a coolant temperature, and a shift position.

  When the selected shift position is displayed, a symbol indicating the selected shift position, for example, in the case of an automatic vehicle, parking is indicated as “P”, back as “R”, neutral as “N”, and drive as “D”. To do. As such a symbol display method, there are known a method of displaying symbols by arranging the symbols by segment display using LEDs and a translucent window and relatively moving the light source along the array.

  In these symbol displays, LED segments and translucent windows must be formed for the total number of shift positions that can be employed even for non-selected shift positions, and there is a problem that extra space is required.

  Therefore, as a symbol display method, there is a method of displaying an image of a symbol indicating a selected shift position on a display such as a liquid crystal panel. Further, as an image related to the shift position, not only the current shift position but also a shift position adjacent to the current shift position, that is, a shift position that can be switched is displayed (for example, see Patent Document 1).

JP 2009-73217 A

  In the display device described in Patent Document 1, since the display area of the current shift position is small and the shift position that can be switched from the current shift position is displayed in a smaller display area, there is a problem that it is difficult to visually recognize. However, if the current shift position and the switchable shift position are displayed large at the same time, there is a problem that a large dedicated display space is required.

  Accordingly, the present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems, and provides a vehicle display device that can easily display the current shift position and the switchable shift position in a limited display area. The purpose is to do.

  The present invention employs the following technical means in order to achieve the aforementioned object.

  The present invention includes a shift detector (34) that detects the current shift position of the shift lever (60) of the transmission of the vehicle, and an operation detector (45, 46) that detects the operation of the shift lever. When the operation detection unit detects the operation of the shift lever while displaying the current shift position, the control unit (43) displays a switchable shift position instead of displaying at least one vehicle information. It is a display device for vehicles characterized by controlling a display part (42) so that it may display.

  According to the present invention as described above, when an operation of the shift lever is detected by the operation detection unit while the current shift position is being displayed, a shiftable shift is performed instead of displaying at least one vehicle information. The display unit is controlled to display the position. Therefore, when the driver operates the shift lever, the switchable shift position is displayed on the display unit. As a result, when the driver wants to confirm the shift position that can be switched, it can be displayed on the display unit.

  When the switchable shift position is not displayed, the current shift position and vehicle information are displayed. Therefore, necessary information can be displayed at a necessary timing. By controlling when and what type of vehicle information is displayed on the display unit, more vehicle information can be displayed in the display area of the display unit, and the display unit can be used effectively.

  In addition, the code | symbol in the bracket | parenthesis of each above-mentioned means is an example which shows a corresponding relationship with the specific means as described in embodiment mentioned later.

  DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, embodiments for carrying out the present invention will be described using a plurality of embodiments with reference to the drawings. In some embodiments, portions corresponding to the matters described in the preceding embodiments may be given the same reference numerals, or one letter may be added to the preceding reference numerals, and overlapping descriptions may be omitted. In addition, when a part of the configuration is described in each embodiment, the other parts of the configuration are the same as those of the embodiment described in advance. In addition to the combination of parts specifically described in each embodiment, the embodiments may be partially combined as long as the combination does not hinder the combination.

(First embodiment)
A first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. First, the electrical configuration of the host vehicle will be described. As shown in FIG. 1, the in-vehicle network 10 includes a periphery monitoring system 20, a vehicle control system 30, a display device 40, a communication bus 50 to which these are connected, and the like. Each system of the in-vehicle network 10 is connected via a communication bus 50 via an in-vehicle network such as a LAN (Local Area Network).

  The periphery monitoring system 20 includes external sensors such as a front camera unit 21 and a radar unit 22, and a periphery monitoring ECU (Electronic Control Unit) 23. The perimeter monitoring system 20 is used for moving objects such as pedestrians, non-human animals, bicycles, motorcycles, and other vehicles, as well as falling objects on the road, traffic signals, guardrails, curbs, road signs, road markings, and trees. Such a stationary object is detected. The periphery monitoring system 20 can include external sensors such as lidar and sonar in addition to each unit.

  The front camera unit 21 is, for example, a monocular or compound eye camera installed near the rearview mirror of the host vehicle. The front camera unit 21 is directed in the traveling direction of the host vehicle, and can capture a range of about 80 meters from the host vehicle at a horizontal viewing angle of about 45 degrees, for example. The front camera unit 21 sequentially outputs captured image data showing a moving object and a stationary object to the periphery monitoring ECU 23.

  The radar unit 22 is installed, for example, at the front part of the host vehicle. The radar unit 22 emits 77 GHz millimeter waves from the transmission antenna toward the traveling direction of the host vehicle. The radar unit 22 receives millimeter waves reflected by a moving object and a stationary object in the traveling direction by a receiving antenna. The radar unit 22 can scan a range of about 60 meters from the host vehicle at a horizontal scanning angle of about 55 degrees, for example. The radar unit 22 sequentially outputs scanning information based on the received signal to the periphery monitoring ECU 23.

  The periphery monitoring ECU 23 is mainly configured by a microcomputer having a processor and a memory. The periphery monitoring ECU 23 is connected to the front camera unit 21, the radar unit 22, and the communication bus 50 so as to be communicable. The surrounding monitoring ECU 23 detects the relative positions of a moving object and a stationary object in the traveling direction by integrating information acquired from each unit. Specifically, the periphery monitoring ECU 23 extracts an object shown in the image data of the front camera unit 21 by image processing. Then, the periphery monitoring ECU 23 calculates the relative position of the extracted detected object such as a moving object and a stationary object based on the scanning information of the radar unit 22. The surrounding monitoring ECU 23 calculates the moving direction and moving speed of the moving detection object based on the transition of the relative position.

  The vehicle control system 30 includes an operation detection sensor such as an accelerator position sensor 31, a brake pedal force sensor 32, a steering angle sensor 33, and a shift position sensor 34, and a vehicle control ECU 35. The vehicle control system 30 controls the travel of the host vehicle based on the input by the driver seated in the driver's seat and the detection result of the periphery monitoring system 20.

  Each sensor is connected to the vehicle control ECU 35. The accelerator position sensor 31 detects the amount of depression of the accelerator pedal by the driver and outputs it to the vehicle control ECU 35. The brake pedaling force sensor 32 detects the pedaling force of the brake pedal by the driver and outputs it to the vehicle control ECU 35. The steering angle sensor 33 detects the steering angle amount of the steering by the driver and outputs it to the vehicle control ECU 35.

  The shift position sensor 34 detects the shift position of the vehicle and outputs it to the vehicle control ECU 35. Therefore, the shift position sensor 34 functions as a shift detection unit that detects the shift position. The shift position is the gear state of the currently selected transmission. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the shift lever 60 is a driving operation unit for switching the combination of gears in the transmission of the vehicle by a driver's operation. The shift position sensor 34 outputs a shift position signal indicating the shift position in response to the lever operation of the shift lever 60.

  The shift lever 60 is also called a shift knob, selector, or select lever, and adopts a by-wire system. In the by-wire shift switching operation, the driver operates the shift lever 60 from the initial state shown in FIG. 2 along the shift guide 61 to switch to an arbitrary shift position. Since the shift lever 60 after the shift switching operation returns to the initial state, the current shift position cannot be recognized at the position of the shift lever 60 and can be confirmed on the display device 40 by display.

  The shift position signal includes a parking signal during parking, a reverse signal during reverse travel, a neutral signal for releasing the gear combination, a drive signal during normal travel, a low signal during low speed, a manual signal during manual operation, etc. is there. As shown in FIG. 2, parking is displayed as “P”, reverse as “R”, neutral as “N”, drive as “D”, low as “L”, and manual as “M”. As shown in FIG. 2, the correspondence between the operation direction of the shift lever 60 and the shift position to be switched is written on the upper surface of the shift lever 60. Therefore, when the shift lever 60 is moved downward in FIG. 2 from the state shown in FIG. 2, the gear is switched to manual operation, and when the shift lever 60 is simply moved to the right, it is switched to neutral.

  In addition, the vehicle control system 30 is provided with one or more types of sensors for detecting the traveling state of the other host vehicle, such as a vehicle speed sensor, a rotation speed sensor, a fuel sensor, a water temperature sensor, and a radio wave receiver. Yes. Specifically, the vehicle speed sensor outputs a vehicle speed signal corresponding to the detection by detecting the vehicle speed of the host vehicle. A rotation speed sensor outputs the rotation speed signal according to the said detection by detecting the engine speed in the own vehicle. The fuel sensor outputs a fuel signal corresponding to the detection by detecting the remaining amount of fuel in the fuel tank of the host vehicle. The water temperature sensor outputs a water temperature signal corresponding to the detection by detecting the cooling water temperature of the internal combustion engine in the host vehicle. The radio wave receiver outputs a traffic signal by receiving output radio waves from, for example, a positioning satellite, another vehicle transmitter for vehicle-to-vehicle communication, and a roadside device for road-to-vehicle communication. Here, the traffic signal is a signal indicating traffic information related to the host vehicle such as a travel position, a travel direction, a travel path state, a speed limit, and the like.

  The vehicle control ECU 35 is mainly composed of a microcomputer having a processor and a memory. The vehicle control ECU 35 is connected to the communication bus 50. The vehicle control ECU 35 is one type or a plurality of types including at least an integrated control ECU among an engine control ECU, a motor control ECU, a brake control ECU, an integrated control ECU, and the like. The vehicle control ECU 35 outputs vehicle information indicating a traveling state such as a detection result of each sensor and a traveling speed of the host vehicle to the communication bus 50.

  The display device 40 includes a meter 41, a display unit 42 such as a multi-function display (MFD), a graphic display computer (abbreviated as GDC) 43, a meter control circuit 44, and a touch sensor 45. ing. The display device 40 is a vehicle display device mounted on a vehicle, and provides vehicle information related to the traveling state of the host vehicle to passengers of the host vehicle including the driver. The display device 40 can include an operation device that operates display of each display device.

  The meter 41 and the display unit 42 are installed on an instrument panel in the passenger compartment. The display unit 42 displays a real image of an image formed so as to show predetermined vehicle information on one or a plurality of liquid crystal panels so as to be visually recognized by the driver. As the real image display by the display unit 42, display of an image indicating one type or a plurality of types of information among navigation information, audio information, video information, communication information, and operation states of various switches is employed. Moreover, the display part 42 can also display the shift operation which is the shift position which can switch the shift lever 60 from a shift state and the shift state which is the present shift position of the shift lever 60 as vehicle information.

  The meter 41 displays vehicle information related to the host vehicle so that the driver can visually recognize the vehicle information. In the present embodiment, the meter 41 is an analog meter that indicates vehicle information by indicating a scale with a pointer 41a. The meter 41 is not limited to an analog meter, and may be a digital meter that displays vehicle information using an image formed on a liquid crystal panel. As such a display by the meter 41, for example, a display indicating one type or a plurality of types of information among the vehicle speed, the engine speed, the remaining amount of fuel, the coolant temperature, the operation states of various switches, and the like is employed.

  The meter control circuit 44 is mainly composed of a microcomputer having a processor and a memory. The meter control circuit 44 is connected to the communication bus 50. The meter control circuit 44 acquires vehicle information such as the vehicle speed output to the in-vehicle LAN via the communication bus 50. Further, the meter control circuit 44 is also electrically connected to a drive source that drives the pointer 41 a of the meter 41. The meter control circuit 44 performs control based on energization to the drive source, for example, vehicle information obtained as a current value. The drive source is composed of a step motor or the like that can generate a rotation output, and rotates the pointer 41a by generating the rotation output by energization. As a result, the pointer 41a is arranged at the rotational position based on the vehicle information.

  The touch sensor 45 is a sensor that detects that the driver has touched the shift lever 60. The touch sensor 45 detects that the driver has touched the shift lever 60 and outputs it to the communication bus 50. The touch sensor 45 is, for example, a capacitance type operation detection unit, and detects contact with a finger on the sensor surface. The touch sensor 45 is formed by arranging two types of electrodes in a grid pattern. Each electrode is configured such that the generated capacitance changes according to the position of the finger close to the sensor surface, and a sensitivity value that is a signal of the generated capacitance is output to the communication bus 50. It has become so. The sensor surface is covered with an insulating sheet made of an insulating material.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the shift lever 60 may be provided with a switch 46 as an operation detection unit for detecting the operation of the driver's shift lever 60. When the driver presses the switch 46 when operating the shift lever 60, a signal indicating that the switch 46 has been pressed is output to the communication bus 50. The switch 46 may be used together with the touch sensor 45, or any one of them may be mounted. When used together, for example, when the sensitivity of the touch sensor 45 decreases due to gloves or the like, the operation of the shift lever 60 can be reliably detected by pressing the switch 46.

  The GDC 43 is a control unit and controls an image displayed by the display unit 42. The GDC 43 is connected to the communication bus 50. The GDC 43 is a drawing processor, and is mainly composed of a microcomputer having a processor and a memory. The GDC 43 reads out image data from the memory and generates an image to be displayed on the display unit 42. Specifically, GDC43 performs those operation control based on the acquisition information and control information in periphery monitoring ECU23 and vehicle control ECU35, the memory information of each memory, etc. FIG.

  Next, control related to the display of the shift position of the GDC 43 will be described with reference to FIGS. The GDC 43 controls an image displayed in the display area 42 a of the display unit 42. The flowchart shown in FIG. 4 is control that is periodically executed in a state where power is supplied to the GDC 43.

  In step S1, the shift state image 70 is displayed, and the process proceeds to step S2. The shift state is the current shift position. Therefore, as shown in (1) of FIG. 5, “D” is displayed on the display unit 42 as the shift state image 70. In addition, in the display area 42a of the display unit 42, as other vehicle information, an image showing a guide route, instantaneous fuel consumption, and average fuel consumption are displayed, and the numerical value of the odometer displayed as ODO in the area outside the display area 42a, The numerical value of the outside temperature displayed as OUTSIDE is displayed.

  In step S2, it is determined whether or not there is a shift operation request. If there is a shift operation request, the process proceeds to step S2, and if there is no shift operation request, the process proceeds to step S7. The shift operation request is detected by the touch sensor 45 and is a state in which the driver is about to operate the shift lever 60. Therefore, when the driver touches shift lever 60, it is determined that there is a shift operation request. If the driver does not touch the shift lever 60, it is determined that there is no shift operation request, the process proceeds to step S7, and the display of the shift state image 70 is continued.

  In step S3, since there is a shift operation request, control is performed to display the shift operation image 71, and the process proceeds to step S4. The shift operation is a shift position that can be switched from the current shift position. Accordingly, the shift operation image 71 is displayed together with the shift state image 70 in the display area 42a of the display unit 42, as shown in FIG. Further, as shown in (1) of FIG. 5, the display is different from the shift state image 70, and the shift operation image 71 and the shift state image 70 are shared. In addition, a shift operation image 71 is displayed instead of the image indicating the guidance route and the instantaneous fuel consumption displayed in (1) of FIG.

  In step S4, it is determined whether or not the shift lever 60 has been operated. If there is an operation, the process proceeds to step S5, and if there is no operation, the process returns to step S2. The operation is performed when the shift lever 60 is operated by the driver and the shift position is changed. When there is no operation, that is, when the driver is touching the shift lever 60 and the shift position is not changed, the process returns to step S2 and the display of the shift operation image 71 is continued. When the driver leaves the shift lever 60, the process proceeds from step S2 to step S7, and the shift state image 70 is displayed again.

  In step S5, since there is an operation, the shift confirmation image 72 is displayed, and the process proceeds to step S6. When there is a shift operation, as shown in (3) of FIG. 5, “M” selected as the shift state image 70 is highlighted, and then, as shown in (4) of FIG. Explanation information explaining the shift position after the change is displayed. Therefore, the shift confirmed image 72 is explanatory information of the selected shift position. In FIG. 5, the explanation information of the selected manual shift is displayed. The explanation information is displayed instead of the display of the shift operation image 71.

  In step S6, it is determined whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed, and the display of the shift confirmed image 72 is continued until the predetermined time elapses. When the predetermined time elapses, the process proceeds to step S7. Therefore, the description information of the shift position is displayed for a predetermined time, for example, several seconds. The set time can be set by the driver, and the explanation information can be prevented from being displayed.

  In step S7, control is performed to display the shift state image 70, and this flow is ended. When the process proceeds from step S6 to step S7, since the display of the shift confirmed image 72 has elapsed for a predetermined time, the shift state image 70 is controlled to be displayed. When the process proceeds from step S2 to step S7, the shift operation image 71 may be being displayed, and thus control is performed so that the shift state image 70 is displayed. In any case, the shift state image 70 which is the display content at the normal time is displayed.

  In the comparative example shown in FIG. 6, when the vehicle is stopped, the current shift state is the D range, and it is possible to transition to the other P, R, N, and M ranges. Therefore, the display unit 42 displays an image 74 showing both the current shift position and the shift position at which transition is possible. Further, since the current shift position and the shift position where transition is possible are displayed in common, each shift display becomes small and it is difficult for the driver to visually recognize the current shift state. The display area 42a for displaying vehicle information is also small.

  On the other hand, when the operation request is not detected by the touch sensor 45 as shown in FIG. 4, the shift state image 70 is enlarged to improve the visibility, and the shift operation image 71 is displayed. Since it is not, more vehicle information can be provided.

  When it is determined that there is a request for a shift operation of the touch sensor 45 of the shift lever 60, the shift operation image 71 is displayed on the display unit 42, thereby providing the driver with a shift position capable of transitioning as a vehicle. After the shift switching operation, the shift state image 70 is displayed again.

  Next, another display example of the display unit 42 will be described with reference to FIG. In FIG. 7 (1), the shift operation image 71 is displayed, but the shift state image 70 is also highlighted in a different area from the shift operation image 71. In the example of FIG. 5, the switching display of the shift state image 70 and the shift operation image 71 is basically performed. However, as shown in FIG. 7A, the display of the shift state image 70 is left when the driver requests a shift operation. Alternatively, the shift operation image 71 may be displayed.

  Further, as shown in (2) of FIG. 7, when a warning event with a high priority occurs during the display of the shift operation image 71, the warning information 73 is controlled to be displayed. In a plurality of vehicle information displayed by the display unit 42, display priority is set in advance. The GDC 43 displays the current shift position, the switchable shift position, and the warning information 73 displayed when a warning is generated in the vehicle, than the vehicle information displayed when a warning is not generated in the vehicle. The priority is set high. Therefore, as shown in (2) of FIG. 7, when a warning event occurs during the display of the shift operation image 71, the warning information 73 is displayed instead of the vehicle information of the average fuel consumption, and the display of the shift operation image 71 is performed. Will continue. Further, when the shift operation image 71 is canceled according to the instruction of the warning information 73, the shift state image 70 is normally displayed. However, as shown in (3) of FIG. 7, when a warning event occurs when the shift state image 70 is displayed, warning information 73 is displayed instead of the vehicle information of the traffic guide, and the shift state image 70 The display continues.

  Thus, when a warning event occurs and there is warning information 73 with a high display priority, the warning information 73 is displayed with priority over other vehicle information. When the warning information 73 is displayed, the shift operation image 71 and the shift state image 70 are also displayed.

  As described above, in the display device 40 of the present embodiment, when the operation of the shift lever 60 is detected by the touch sensor 45 while displaying the current shift position, the display device 40 changes to display at least one vehicle information. Switchable shift positions are displayed. Therefore, when the driver operates the shift lever 60, the switchable shift position is displayed on the display unit 42. As a result, when the driver wants to check the shift position that can be switched, it can be displayed on the display unit 42.

  When the switchable shift position is not displayed, the current shift position and vehicle information are displayed on the display unit 42. Therefore, necessary information can be displayed at a necessary timing. By controlling when and what kind of vehicle information is displayed on the display unit 42, more vehicle information can be displayed in the display area 42a of the display unit 42, and the display unit 42 can be used effectively.

  In other words, the display device 40 according to the present embodiment receives the driver's shift operation request from the outside of the display unit 42, and switches between the shift state image 70 and the shift operation image 71 of the display unit 42, thereby performing the shift display. Visibility and operability are improved. Accordingly, the shift position that can be shifted only when a shift operation is requested is displayed, and the current shift state image 70 is enlarged and displayed at times other than when the shift operation is requested, thereby improving visibility for the driver.

  In the present embodiment, the operation detection unit is realized by the touch sensor 45 that detects that the driver has touched the shift lever 60. When the driver changes the shift position by operating the shift lever 60, the driver naturally contacts the shift lever 60. Therefore, the driver can detect an action to change the shift position without performing a special operation.

  Further, in the present embodiment, when the shift position is switched, the explanatory information explaining the shift position after the switching is displayed over a predetermined time, and then the current shift position is displayed. As a result, the driver can visually recognize the explanation of the shift position after switching. For example, in the case of manual operation, it can be confirmed how the shift can be changed by the operation. This can improve convenience.

  In the present embodiment, display priority is set in advance in a plurality of pieces of vehicle information displayed by the display unit 42. The warning information 73 displayed when a warning is generated in the current shift position, the switchable shift position, and the vehicle has a higher priority than the vehicle information displayed when a warning is not generated in the vehicle. Is set high. The vehicle information with low priority is vehicle information that is less necessary in an emergency when a warning event occurs, and is vehicle information such as a guide route, instantaneous fuel efficiency, and average fuel efficiency. Both the shift state image 70 and the shift operation image 71 are high priority information. Therefore, even when the warning information 73 is present, the shift state image 70 and the shift operation image 71 are displayed, so that the driver can surely take a response according to the warning information 73 without making a mistake in the driving operation. Further, by controlling so that the warning information 73 is displayed reliably, when the warning event occurs, the warning information 73 can be dealt with more appropriately.

  Further, in the present embodiment, when an operation of the shift lever 60 is detected while displaying the current shift position, the shift position can be switched in place of the display of the current shift position and at least one vehicle information. Is displayed. Thus, the shift operation image 71 can be displayed in place of the shift state image 70, and the shift operation image 71 can be displayed using the area where the vehicle information is displayed. Therefore, when the driver operates the shift lever 60, the shift operation image 71 can be displayed in a large area, and the visibility of the shift operation image 71 can be improved.

(Second Embodiment)
Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. The present embodiment is characterized in that the configuration of the shift lever 60 is different. The shift lever 60 of the present embodiment is a gate type shift lever 60 in which the shift state of the vehicle can be recognized at the position of the shift lever 60. As shown in FIG. 8, the shift lever 60 moves along a straight shift guide 61. Even with such a shift lever 60, the shift operation image 71 is displayed based on the shift operation request of the driver.

  As a result, the driver can confirm the shift position where the shift change is possible by the shift operation image 71. In the case of the gate type, the shift position that can be switched can be confirmed by visually recognizing the shift lever 60, but it can be confirmed by displaying on the display unit 42 without diverting the line of sight from the traveling direction.
